Enrico Casarosa created a beautiful short based loosely on his own life. It’s called “La Luna” and it reminded me a lot of Super Mario Galaxy. You’ll see why. The piece was an Oscar nominee for Best Animated Short Film this past year and Pixar favorite Michael Giacchino provided the music. It’s utterly delightful.
